We just celebrated our 6th anniversary. To keep this thread on message I'd like to say that we are very excited that 4 wheel buggy is making a resurgence. We're equally excited about the B64. I genuinely hope the new Associated car is really good so that I can run one instead of a TLR or XRay. We have a thriving 4x4 class. Its unlimited but almost nobody runs anything other than a 13.5. Since we are outdoors and its getting cold out, race nights are getting seasonally thin. If you live anywhere nearby its a great place to run Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

If its dry Pro-Line X2 compound suburbs/scrubs. Wet is always Hole Shots. Late Spring-Fall anything will work but X2 compound is usually the best....red or orange JConcepts stuff is ok when its over 75 degrees.

Now that I've discovered the ignore list I plan to use it.....14 and counting!

Does anyone think/know if we'd be able to use the small hex on the front? I have a couple pairs of new tires mounted up that I don't want to go to waste.

If you want to use 10mm front hexes, the B44 hex is the same width/ offset and just needs to be drilled out to 5mm and you'll be good to go.

While the B6 aluminum rear hubs will technically work, the B64 actually uses a differnt rear hub than the B6. The outer bearing is moved in to narrow the rear end, otherwise you are very likely to end up with a rear end that is an 'illegal' width. Which is also why the rear end uses a 5mm hex, to keep the rear end legal width ( even when the pivot width is wide).

the 2.4 (61mm) wheels have 12mm hex and i'm sure the new wheeler will have 2.2 wheels with 12mm hex.

The info all says 12mm hex but from the looks of the spec sheet on the AE site no wheels will be included so I think most people are wondering if existing wheels will fit from other cars or are we at the mercy or AE/Jconcepts/Proline to come out with wheels specific to this car. I know that's my question anyway

There will be a 61mm and 2.2" wheel that will be available. The 61mm is the existing wheel, the 2.2" is new to accommodate a 12mm hex.

As mentioned before. If you really want to use a 10mm hex wheel you can, just drill a B44 hex out to 5mm for the axle and rock it. This method was used for early testing.
